What is peace?

What is Peace?  In this personal development post, the question is: Do we find peace, do we make peace or do we choose peace.  Well, in Matthew Ferry’s words:

“Most people are concerned with two aspects of peace. Peace in the world and inner peace. Choosing peace in every aspect of life will simultaneously assist the world in achieving peace. In the end they are one in the same. When you choose peace, you declare yourself an agent of change. Choosing peace means letting go of pre-programmed negative reactions to the world like anger, resentment, righteousness, domination and retaliation. This commitment leads to the second type of peace.

Inner peace is a quality of knowing that all is well in the world… Read the rest of this entry »

What is RSS Feed and how does it work?

This is a post that has been around for a little bit but I think it is still very valuable.  Let me know what you think?

What is RSS Feed and how does it work?  That is a good question.  Many people have a basic understanding of what it is, however, they don’t know the best way to use it.

Who uses feeds like this?  USA Today, BBC News, ABC New and on and on… so why not You.  This is a great way to ensure that people who are interested in you, stay interested in you.  You want to give them ample opportunities to subscribe so that you can be there for them when they are looking for some information or advice.

Like wise, you want to subscribe to sources of information that keeps you informed without taking you hours to search and find it.

.
The reason that you want people to follow your personal or business blog RSS is you want people to know who you are.  People join people that they know, like and trust.  What better way for them to get to that point than to be reading your blog.

Click on my RSS Feed and keep connected to me!

Happy Trails…..

Mobile Media Marketing

The Keyword In This Business Is: Network

This could be your business network or your personal network,

bottom line you need to create a network.

When you are looking at going into a network marketing business there are vital questions you must ask.

Home Meetings Suck

To do a home meeting or to not have a home meeting, that is the question.

Today I was on a training call with the leaders in my primary business.  The training that they provide is great.  Two of the trainers have been in the networking business for years and have been very successful.  So, when your leaders are successful you should do what your leaders are suggesting for you to do.  If you do what successful people do, you will eventually be successful too.

So, some background of what sales training we have received. Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Business Card

The business card has been around since the 1600′s and it has pretty much been the same for all of these years.  Sure with the advent  of the computer and better printing the card did evolve to a more elaborate display.  Then, as the internet has expanded and more and more people start doing business online it is only fitting that a genuine Internet business card be developed.

Yes, we have places that have our information and Read the rest of this entry »

Personal Development A Journey

My personal development journey started back in the late 1970s.  The first books that I remember reading on this subject were I’m OK, You’re OK, by Thomas A Harris MD , which was a best seller for over 2 years and sold more that 15 million copies and As a Man Thinketh a literary essay by James Allen, published in 1902.  Both of these books opened up a new way of thinking for me.

You Inc Star Video Challege Intro

I always loved a challenge, so when my business partner Dotti Berry told me about this what could I say? 

So, here we go we are blazing a new trail, one video at a time.  The challenge is to produce a video everyday for 7 weeks.  This is not for the faint of heart, you have to be like the people in the movie Brave Heart!!  This will give you Freedom from your excuses, your reasons for not getting things done.  The road to hell is paved with good intentions, that will not work.

One way to stick to this is to understand that it is not about trying … that word needs to be taken out of your vocabulary.  You are either going to do it or you are not.  If you are seated in a chair, have you ever tried to get up?  Well, that’s right you either get up or you stay seated.  Trying doesn’t do you any good!  I know that we have been told over and over in our lives that we just need to keep trying.  That seems so useless now.  If you think about in light of that, if you just keep trying to do something and nothing changes that is the definition of insanity.

Using Your Mobile Media Device To Connect You To The Internet

Mobile Media

Old School Tethering

New School Tethering

Using your mobile media device to connect to the Internet is really a great way to get connected when there’s no hot spot in sight.

If you are out in a rural area or away from a hot spot, look to your phone to save the day.  By connecting or tethering your phone to your laptop or PC you can have internet access anywhere. Any phone with broad band access allows you to tether, and this can be done with a USB cable, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Mobile Media Providers

There may be a few difficulties because your wireless provider is holding the cards on this access.  Some Read the rest of this entry »

WordPress Dot Com Goes Down Taking Millions With It

Wow, WordPress is getting a lot of negative or Badpress, (pun intended) these days.

Legally Blind To Success In Online Marketing

So, you think you can make it in this business, but you been doing it for awhile, and have had little success.  Maybe you have been working on your blog or you have been on Facebook and made a few friends.  Well, it is going to take more than that.  It will take a proven technique and a lot of focus.

The only way to make it in this business it to get started on something that is working and then stick with it long enough to see if it works for you.  “Well, what if it doesn’t work and I fail?”  It is not failure it is only feedback.

WordPress Blogs Being Hacked

Don’t you think it is quite amazing the feeling of total “freak out” that a person feels when they realize that they have lost their phone?  Well, that is nothing compared to the freak out that I felt when I thought that I had lost everything on my blog last week!

When my blog was hacked the idea of losing the central nervous center of my business had the hair on the back of my neck standing on ends.  Luckily for me, I was able to get it fixed and not lose anything, and it was a great relief when all was well with my blog.  Below you will find how I was able to recover from this.

Should I pay off my mortgage instead of investing?

First of all it is important to really understand what you are dealing with in a mortgage.  So many people have mortgages that everyone just thinks that it is “normal”.  But, if we are knew what we were paying for, for that “privilege” we would be pretty upset.
